John, Ovi-McKenna-Michkov needs to happen. The team is good enough to withstand it and it'll accelerate McKenna's growth. He'll get a ton of assists playing with Ovi. And no need to even give him PP time. I actually did that myself, put a low franchise prospect on the top line with my best players. Didn't really grow during the season, but he became a medium franchise during the offseason. And you can help him with conversations to make his scheme fit the 1st line and same for Ovi and probably get a +5. Also, you might also want to use conversations to put his primary position at center.
Play the kids. Play Mckenna 1C and play Luchenko 2c with konecny and tippet. Dont lose sight of what’s important long term. If you’re out of a playoff spot at the deadline, sell vets and keep playing the youth. McKenna’s potential should see him grow quite quickly and Luchenko has enough potential to develop into a solid top 6 Center in future years if played in the proper roll. Maybe ask them to work on their face-offs but them playing center will help their faceoffs grow in general too
@@Userperson2 They will tank the team and their line mates production. Go all next year give McKenna the Calder goal and he might jump to medium franchise!
Give McKenna as much Ice time as possible for the Calder so his potential goes up or don't play him more than 9 games. Then long term he will hopefully be mid 90s if he's up to medium franchise.
Don’t know if you’ll see this but I’ve been through some as stuff lately and I just want to thank you for being a light through the bs life has been throwing at me. Haven’t been able to laugh much but you have been something I’m able to look forward to watching. Much love
Mckenna needs to play in the nhl in the top 6 his franchise potential will make him grow fast he could easily be 83-85 by mid or end of season. You got nothing to lose play the kid! first line with ovi and mitchkov will be special.
I think the sliders at the end were perfectly fine in the live stream. I think let ppl who focus sliders know a little more about that than trying to alter them a little. The smallest change alters the entire game. Agression and superstar make more hits but it also makes the game faster, they attack the net and play better since they aren’t on pro. I know the hitting is bad but it’s the best way in the game to strip players off the puck
Swap McKenna and Anderson numbers John give Gavin 9 as that’s was his number for team Canada. Also give Bob number 35 as that was his number before in Philly!!!!
You have the chance to use Ovi to speedrun McKenna’s growth. Anyone is gonna get a million assists playing with Ovi, use it to get McKenna to grow, and he will go up to a medium Franchise in the off-season.
This season for sure, I think it’s much more worth it to grow Mckenna. Put him first line center. He’s 18 he’ll be low to mid 80s by the trade deadline. Also make sure michvok and ovechkin r paired up on the PP
The unrealistic EA rosters are really destroying my immersion in this GM mode, why oh why didn't he download the community rosters? So stupid. McKenna, number 1 pick going in the mid 10s, Drysdale, an actual bust being one of the best RDs in the league...lmao
Honestly fluery returning to pittsburgh makes sense lol usually when a player starts getting toward the end of their career they wanna go to the place they started one last hurrah kinda thing
Hi, Johnny. I’d say fuck it and give Mckenna first line center. Tell him to focus on face offs instead. The team you’ve built is good enough. He will definitely increase his overall pretty quickly. He is a franchise player
Next time you start a franchise start a custom franchise so you can turn of inflation. With inflation turned of, your player wont ask for unrealistic amount of money like drysdale did, in my franchise i got him locked up at 7 mil, 90 ovr
I find that these NHL ready top 6 forwards or top 4 defensemen typically don’t grow very much. Maybe I get unlucky idk but I feel I’ll throw them in the AHL at 78 overall and then 2 years later they are a 79. But I also haven’t played the new franchise mode so maybe the growth is better this year
The next 1-2 years should be focused on growth of the young guys and if you end up good enough for a playoff spot then cool. If not, flip assets but keep good players around your young guys
@kilipikonna I was genuinely asking if anyone else was hearing it lol. Wasn't sure if it was just me. Going back to previous episodes and comparing there's definitely something off
I think passing on Necas was a mistake. He's right in his prime. Coulda told Konecny and Michkov to shoot more. First line would have been locked in for 6 years and probably scoring 100 goals a season
Play Mckenna 1st line C. He will grow to an 83+ by the end of the year so can't be worse than Couturier. Also you want him to learn from Ovy. He might go up to a medium franchise.
Summers was the right pick 😢 goal scoring Sniper would’ve fit perfect with Michkov for the long term rather than getting a short term solution with Ovi
Yo John, just a suggestion not sure if you do this but I thought maybe if you keep a dry erase white board next to you, you’ll be able to mark stuff down to remember. Not saying you need to but I feel like it’d be quite convenient for you since you stream all the time. You can mark down certain stats or draft positions just stuff that you’ll need to go back to but you won’t have to since you marked it down
Bobrovski going back to flyers and Ovie leaving capitals and blackhawks trading a high potential player on an entry-level contract for a second right side defenceman with another high contract is realistic? "Realistic" is just for clout
@User-000-g7t Drysdale was one of the best defenceman in the league, and Chicago giving up a high potential defenseman makes sense, but I do agree that Ovi leaving the capitals is unrealistic
Blackhawks are already paying a right side dman with a high contract, they would rather spend the money on a left side dman or wingers instead of having 2 high contract right side dmen
dont get the laughton contract. you insta-resigned him for 3 years at over $3m per. hes 32, no x factors, not great chemistry or anything. i feel like theres a million guys in free agency that are basically the same as him that you can get for half the money.
Imo. Dont start the year with the young guys. See how the team perfoms for a month or two. If the team is mid or worse, try out the young guys. If no improvement either send them down and full tank or tank and develop them If good, then let them develop for a year and try them out and send them back down
homell was by far the most nhl ready prospect ive ever seen you get that late STEAL OF THE DRAFT
@@KingMudkip I don’t think I’ve ever seen an 80 overall go in the second round

@@crazybut6641why tho l? Ovi has a cup and the all time goal scoring record. Let him be a leader and help develop the prospects!
@@Userperson2 They will tank the team and their line mates production. Go all next year give McKenna the Calder goal and he might jump to medium franchise!
@@crazybut6641 fair enough! Either way I am Excited to see what Johnny does!

I’m ready for an 84 game season
That glitch actually is repeatable, you could play 164 games... It's in the game
That Hommel pickup will be like Detroit picking up Seider with the shock of everyone in the arena
Mckenna needs to play in the nhl in the top 6 his franchise potential will make him grow fast he could easily be 83-85 by mid or end of season. You got nothing to lose play the kid! first line with ovi and mitchkov will be special.
If he’s asked to win the Calder and he does he jumps to MED franchise
Depending on how u plan on playing Mackenna, u should give him the goal to win the calder to try and increase his potnetial/stats
McKenna 1C for sure, jumpstart his career and progression by playing with Ovi and Michkov.

John Kessel misses munchin on your well cooked hot dogs
Let's go flyers amazing draft
This season for sure, I think it’s much more worth it to grow Mckenna. Put him first line center. He’s 18 he’ll be low to mid 80s by the trade deadline. Also make sure michvok and ovechkin r paired up on the PP
This goaltending tandem is making Bower 43 and Sawchuk 37, look like a young tandem.
The flower back in Pitts was funny as shit 😂
Keep dadonov in the lineup
The unrealistic EA rosters are really destroying my immersion in this GM mode, why oh why didn't he download the community rosters? So stupid.
McKenna, number 1 pick going in the mid 10s, Drysdale, an actual bust being one of the best RDs in the league...lmao
Barkey is so good irl, I think he’s gonna be a massive steal for the flyers
1:03:32 love that rant 🤣🤣🤣
I love when johnny decides to listen or trolls the Twitch scouts by not pinning the draft players 😂
John. Homell will if you play him on the second pair, 100% become medium elite next year.
No ego numbers in Philly, I love it
Ovi will fix the PP! Ovi The great 8 with Michkov is a dream coming true! Good job GM Superbman.
Breaking News: GM Superman rated as best GM in the NHL after a successful offseason.
THE PAIN.. IT'S STOPPING
Just watched the Flyers stomp Anaheim in person and now I get to come home and watch Johnny stomp the rest of the league with the Flyers
Honestly fluery returning to pittsburgh makes sense lol usually when a player starts getting toward the end of their career they wanna go to the place they started one last hurrah kinda thing
Stupid thing is Summers fits the Flyers pln better, and Mckenna fits the Blackhawk plan better
Dadanov best signing 😂
bis mistake not getting Will Smith back to Philadelphia
i played a gm mode and mckenna scored like 12 goals 60 points a year and i developed him as well as possible

mic sounds weird or is just me
I thought so. I got timed out for asking during the livestream, though.
@@ollie7621 yea i was watching the stream back and felt bad when you got timed out bcuz i was noticin it too lmao
@kilipikonna I was genuinely asking if anyone else was hearing it lol. Wasn't sure if it was just me. Going back to previous episodes and comparing there's definitely something off
The flower is the goat
I think passing on Necas was a mistake. He's right in his prime. Coulda told Konecny and Michkov to shoot more. First line would have been locked in for 6 years and probably scoring 100 goals a season
Let Mckenna develop into 82-84 in the minors, then next year go for a calder with him.
Won stanley cup with expansion draft roster year 1 🥳
John snuggy needs to be in this game
Turn Gavin into a C
Play Mckenna 1st line C. He will grow to an 83+ by the end of the year so can't be worse than Couturier. Also you want him to learn from Ovy. He might go up to a medium franchise.
We are eating good superb man viewers
I still don’t know why Gavin was so low every franchise I’ve done he’s been the first pick
Summers was the right pick 😢 goal scoring Sniper would’ve fit perfect with Michkov for the long term rather than getting a short term solution with Ovi
Yo John, just a suggestion not sure if you do this but I thought maybe if you keep a dry erase white board next to you, you’ll be able to mark stuff down to remember.

Im pretty sure gavin mckenna is bedards cousin
Change homell to a 2 way defenceman
Johnny you can't say you're trading Drysdale to help Bedard and then PICK BEDARD'S COUSIN WITH THE 1ST ROUNDER
It’s not like he knows McKenna is Bedard’s cousin 😂
Wow Hommel is just Criminal
Anyone notice how he did find trade for Sandheim and not Drysdale 15:15
It looks like that but he selected Drysdale it doesn't matter who you're hovering over since you could select multiple pieces to trade out
@ImmortalWombat ooh ok
Johnny I love you
Why wouldn't Johnny qualify Drysdale for one more season?
Idk if you wanna mess around with sliders but injury slider at 17 is most realistic compared to nhl
Johnny bringing back the USSR
Average age of the team is 78.9 years old lmao
dude ive been watching since like nhl 12, pls do x.85 for contract to save money
Use Ovi and Michkov to grow McKenna faster
If GM superbman wasn't always going for declining veterans he woulda had enough cap space for Demko and Necas
He defo could’ve, but I feel he wanted to be realistic with this rebuild instead of signing the best free agwnts
Bobrovski going back to flyers and Ovie leaving capitals and blackhawks trading a high potential player on an entry-level contract for a second right side defenceman with another high contract is realistic? "Realistic" is just for clout

Blackhawks are already paying a right side dman with a high contract, they would rather spend the money on a left side dman or wingers instead of having 2 high contract right side dmen
Wish he would've picked summers instead, this team needs a good center sniper
I think that Hommel guy fell so far because he's a defensive dman, top 4 potential, very little points.
Play mckenna and hommel 82 games
dont get the laughton contract. you insta-resigned him for 3 years at over $3m per. hes 32, no x factors, not great chemistry or anything. i feel like theres a million guys in free agency that are basically the same as him that you can get for half the money.
Why does he keep saying Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup? Did the Rangers not win it against the Avalanche????
This is season 3
DADONOOOOOV
Jeez they managed to make the skating look worse in NHL 25? lol
Konecny might be the worst breakaway player in EA history
never thought i'd pray for the downfall of GM Superbman, but Ovechkin in black and orange is too much. TOO MUCH.
Too many 3rd line wingers, sell some for cap and roster room.
Imo. Dont start the year with the young guys. See how the team perfoms for a month or two. If the team is mid or worse, try out the young guys. If no improvement either send them down and full tank or tank and develop them
